3:19 PM: i took watercolor 8 to the next stage, working very slowly so that i could maintain the delicate balance of forms & colors, continuing to enjoy the arches paper.
this one is walking the line between abstraction of representation. i’d like to maintain the negative spaces throughout the process.

1:37 PM: my grandson philip & i have agreed to exchange self portraits daily for a week. this is #2; i’m waitingh to receive his. now on to the watercolor i started yesterday. more later in the afternoon.
3:25 PM: as i worked on watercolor 8, i cast glances at the self portrait and found a problem with the eyes being too close together and the nose looking fatter then it actually is. so i made corrections, removed the image i had posted earlier and replaced it with the one you see.
